Improvements made to Renault Master Van

In Renault’s latest press release, they have recently announced improvements for their Master Van range, such as air suspension available for front-wheel drive Masters, easier to use and better-equipped radios, and Bluetooth and USB connectivity are now standard features across the range, while flagship Sport versions come with a CD player and MP3 playback, as well as a separate display.  Although the launch of the New Master was released back in 2010, Renault has now enhanced fuel economy, lowered emissions and also offers greater equipment. The previous 2010 model Master engine (M9T) was developed especially for Renault’s largest van, a 2.3 dCi powerplant, which is made in Cléon, France, and comes in a choice of three power outputs (100hp, 125hp and 150hp) and its fuel consumption has been improved this year by up to 3.8 mpg (SL/SM dCi 125 Quickshift6 Euro 5 versions), with the core-selling dCi 125 up by 3.3 mpg (SL/SM versions). CO₂emissions now start at 194 g/km, and are down by an average of 16g/km (24 g/km in the case of dCi 125 Quickshift6 Euro 5 versions of SL28 and SL33). To achieve these savings, Renault’s engineers focused on thermal management: an improved water circuit for even faster starting, new oil and power steering pumps, low fuel-consumption tyres, and new gearbox lubricant. Other options now available, for twin-wheel rear-wheel drive Chassis Cabs, a 3.5 tonne towing capacity, priced at £350 excluding VAT. This equates to an additional towing capacity of 500kg over the current Master, taking GTW from 6.5 to 7 tonnes. According to the article, Renault Master enjoys a 15 per cent share of the European large van segment, which reinforces the brand’s status as Europe’s number one LCV manufacturer, a position it has held since 1998.
